Summary: Greek MEP Eva Kaili, who has become the face of the European Parliament's widening graft scandal, will spend at least another week in custody before attending a postponed pre-trial hearing, her lawyer said Wednesday. Former EU parliament vice-president Kaili, 44, her partner Francesco Giorgi, 35, ex-MEP Pier Antonio Panzeri and lobbyist Niccolò Figa-Talamanca are all charged with corruption, money laundering and organised crime. A fishing crew has given a shocking account of how drowning migrants 'screamed' for help - as it was confirmed that at least four died after a small boat capsized in the freezing Channel this morning. The captain of the fishing vessel described the scenes as 'something out of a Second World War movie', saying they pulled more than 30 people from the water - but at least one could not be saved.
